If you want Lord of the Rings you will be disappointed. If you want an action adventure movie, same. This is a period English drama, with the usual love story, class differences, private schools, etc. However, it is very well done. And the links and hints of how the LOTR mythology came to be makes it an interesting twist. Starts a little slow, but the end, as well as the tidbits of what came after make it all worth it. Unexpectedly good.
